IMO Diane, Mark, and other contributors make some excellent points. I remember watching TV about a team of archeologists who found a large unmarked grave of Napoleon's troops who perished in the great retreat from Moscow. A wealth of information was obtained from the remains but I can't remember if they were reinterred post study with honor and respect or not. This thread's incident hit me hard though as the remains are highly likely those of an American soldier known but to God and auctioning the soldier's skull basically tap dances on every nerve I was issued. Ashes to ashes dust to dust one day that will be us sez I.
Still granting decency, honor, and respect for those who came before us is something that should be encouraged and admired. To do otherwise is at best just plain doing it wrong or at worst beyond disrespectful and thus repugnant to most of us as it should be.
